      Tinashe feels a deep responsibility for his sister Hazvinei, who seems different from others. Growing up in rural Rhodesia, amidst the shadows of past guerilla wars, Tinashe's protective instincts intensify as Hazvinei's wild spirit stirs unsettling rumors of curses in the village.

      The White Shadow
    • Elise loves the farm that is her home. As the privileged existence of the white farmers begins to crumble into anarchy and farm invasions begin, Elise is forced to confront difficult choices and the ancient unforgiving ghosts of the past.

      The Cry of the Go-Away Bird
    • Howl's Moving Castle meets The House in the Cerulean Sea in Andrea Eames' debut cosy fantasy: a cheeky butcher's daughter, a befuddlingly handsome sorcerer, and his clever talking cat unlock magical secrets in the dark heart of their kingdom - and just might discover the meaning of true love. Everyone in Foss Butcher's village knows what happens when the magic-workers come; they harvest human hearts to use in their spells. That's just how life in her kingdom works. But Foss, plain, clumsy, and practical as a boot, never expected anyone would want hers. When a sorcerer snags a piece of Foss's heart without meaning to, she is furious. For once a heart is snagged, the experience is ... well, unpleasant. So, Foss finds herself stomping toward the grand City to keep his enchanted House and demands that he fixes her before she keels over and dies, or whatever happens when hearts are Snagged. But the sorcerer, Sylvester, is not what she expected. Petulant, idle, and new to his powers, Sylvester has no clue how to undo the heart-taking, or how to do much of anything really, apart from sulk. Foss's only friend is a talking cat and the walls themselves have moods. As Foss searches for a cure, she accidentally uncovers that there is much more to the heart-taking - and to the magic-workers themselves - than she could have ever imagined...
